The Lovers Are Losing

[Intro] F  C  F  C

What´s up?
C
I dreamed I was drowning
Am
In the river Thames
G
I dreamed I had nothing at all
F                      C
Nothing but my own skin

C
I dreamed I was drifting
Am
On the howling wind
G
I dreamed I had nothing at all
F                      C
Nothing but my own skin

Am                     D
Slipped away from your open hands
Bb    F
Into river
Am                     D
Saw your face looking back at me
Bb                 F          C
I saw my past, and I saw my future

C                            F
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
                                  C
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
                                 F
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
                              C
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                  Bb
Put it all back together
                         F
But any way you look at things
       C
Looks like
                G
The lovers are losing

C
I dreamed I was watching
Am
The young lovers dance
G
I reached out to touch your hair
           F                  C
But I was watching from a distance

Am                        D
We cling to love like a skidding car
Bb           F
Clings to a corner
Am                   D
I try to hold on to what we are
Bb                        F        C
The more I squeeze, the quicker we alter

C                            F
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
                                  C
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
                                 F
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
                              C
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                    Bb
Put it all back together
                         F
But any way you look at things
       C
Looks like
                  G
The lovers are losing

(D)
I dreamed I had nothing at all (Nothing but my own skin)
I dreamed I had nothing at all (Nothing but my own skin)
I dreamed I had nothing at all (Nothing but my own skin)
I dreamed I had nothing at all (Nothing at all)

G7                           F
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
                                 C
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
                                 F
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
                             C
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                    Bb
Put it all back together
                         F
But any way you look at things
       C
Looks like
                  G    G7
The lovers are losing

G7                           F
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
                                 C
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
                                 F
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
                              C
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
                     Bb
Put it all back together
                       F
But in the final reckoning
        C
Looks like
                  G
The lovers are losing
